Introduction and Features

The new P2’s deliver excellent performance and quiet operation

Introduction

EVGA recently introduced three new Platinum certified power supplies in their popular SuperNOVA line, the 650P2, 750P2 and 850P2. All three power supplies are 80 Plus Platinum certified for high efficiency and feature all modular cables, high-quality Japanese brand capacitors, and a quiet 140mm cooling fan (with the ability to operate in silent, fan-less mode at low to mid power levels). And in addition to delivering excellent performance with quiet operation, these new power supplies are backed by a 10-year warranty!

EVGA was founded in 1999 with headquarters in Brea, California. They continue to specialize in producing NVIDIA based graphics adapters and Intel based motherboards and keep expanding their PC power supply product line, which currently includes thirty-four models ranging from the high-end 1,600W SuperNOVA T2 to the budget minded EVGA 400W power supply.

In this review we will be taking a detailed look at both the EVGA SuperNOVA 650P2 and 750P2 power supplies. It’s nice when we receive two slightly different units in the same product series to look for consistency during testing.

Here is what EVGA has to say about the new SuperNOVA P2 Platinum PSUs: “The unbeatable performance of the EVGA SuperNOVA P2 power supply line is now available in 850, 750 and 650 watt versions. Based on the award winning P2 power supplies, these units feature 80 Plus Platinum rated efficiency, and clean, continuous power to every component. The ECO Control Fan system offers fan modes to provide absolutely zero fan noise during low to medium load operations. Backed by an award winning 10 year warranty, and 100% Japanese capacitor design, the EVGA SuperNOVA 850, 750 and 650 P2 power supplies offer unbeatable performance and value."

I can add to the list ofI can add to the list of disadvantages: extremely rigid cabling and very tight connectors (caution is advised with Molex in particular). I have first hand experience with EVGA PSUs and while great as a PSU box little details make them highly questionable purchase. Included cabling for example is by miles more flexible with Corsair. Best thing you can do is to buy cable set from CableMod (not EVGA). You will see then how cables should be made for such premium priced PSU.

Perhaps smaller models have different fans, but I can certainly say that EVGA fans are loudest I’ve heard in a long time – again Corsair is top of the pick for quiet. Noise from 1000 P2 or 1200 P2 dwarfs multiple HDD arrays and ~20 fans in each system. Ecomode is all nice, but its sole purpose is to shut the racket from cooling fan.

Big EVGA fan, but they shouldn’t just auto-copy Leadex/SuperFlower without any improvements.

Also an EVGA fan- and my mainAlso an EVGA fan- and my main selling point is the 10 year warranty. PSUs at these ratings with this warranty at this price are a bargain AFAIC. You are into boutique-ville after this.

I would also like to see smarter PSUs. Cabling is not that big of an issue with me and I love modular designs where I don’t have to figure out where to put the excess cables any more. The EVGA I have is not noisy at all.

In all, this review agrees with what I’ve seen. It has been a great product to me so far.

Edit: Yes, small capacitors are built into the ends of the CPU and VGA cables – under the heat shrink. The 650W PSU has one CPU cable with both a 4+4 pin and 8 pin connector. The 750W PSU comes with two CPU cables, one with an 8-pin connector and the other with a 4+4 pin connector.

What about the torture load?What about the torture load? Did you guys check it on how much torture load it can handle. Because that will give the most accurate idea about how much power supply it can sustain through. Please do the torture load test. I have been asked this question by one of my blog readers where I reviewed this power supply. you can see here (https://www.glinkster.com/best-power-supply-for-gaming/)

One thing more I don’t like about this power supply which I also mentioned in my review is the plastic connectors on one end are split while the other end is not. Apart from that, it is a great looking power supply and it simply amaze me with its low noise. And yes I agree, the 10 year warranty is the main selling point in this PSU.
